Summary

Description

The plaque above was dedicated on Tuesday May 28, 2013, on the 50th anniversary of the sit-in in downtown Jackson, two blocks west of the Governor's Mansion.

The sit-in, on May 28, 1963, was part of the ongoing "Jackson Movement" to protest the city's segregated facilities and its treatment of African-Americans.

The plaque is located off Capitol Street, on the site of the Woolworth's store. It is the 12th entry on the Mississippi Freedom Trail, a series of signs the state started putting up in 2011 to remember people and events of the civil rights movement.
